Talk about Jewelry in Japanese?!
How do you talk about jewelry? How do you wear a ring? How do you put on a ring, or take it off, or earrings, a necklace, socks, ties, buttons, watches, bracelets, and belts!!!
I just realized I don't know how to describe these things!!

Hi, good question! We use various verbs for "to put on / to wear".
to put on / wear
a ring = ゆびわをはめる / ゆびわをする // to take it off = ゆびわをはずす
earrings, necklace = イヤリング / ネックレスをつける / する // to take it off = はずす
bracelets = ブレスレットをつける / する / (dependinf on the form) はめる // to take it off = はずす / とる
watches = うでどけいをつける / する // to take it off = はずす / とる
socks, shoes pants, skirt, underwear, everything you wear through the legs/feet = はく // to take it/them off = ぬぐ
ties = ネクタイをする / つける / (for the action of tying) むすぶ // to take it off = はずす / とる / (to loose the tie) = ネクタイをゆるめる
to button buttons = ボタンをはめる / とめる / しめる / かける // to unbutton buttons = ボタンをはずす / あける
belts = ベルトをしめる / する // to take it off = はずす / とる
Here are other actions:
to put on / wear
hat, cap = ぼうしをかぶる // to take it off = ぬぐ
shirt, coat, jacket, seater, etc = 〜をきる(着る) // to take it off = ぬぐ
glasses = メガネ/サングラスをかける // to take it off = はずす / とる
If you have more things to wear, please let me know. I hope this was helpful.
